The cheerleading instructor I took in junior high was also the coach for Akinori Chiba. Wanting to do cheerleading in high school, I moved to Chiba with my mother and enrolled in the prestigious Chiba Meitoku High School. During the intense practice at high school, for some reason, I was gradually starting to lose sight of the charm of cheerleading. One day, I had the opportunity to practice together with the cheerleading club members of J. F. Oberlin University. There, I saw seniors dancing happily, and above all, they seemed to shine. After practicing, as I interacted with the seniors, I started wanting to cheerlead at Obirin. It wasn't because I wanted to escape the rigor of practice, but because I wanted to truly enjoy cheerleading. In the third year of J. F. Oberlin University, there was a senior from our high school. Around him, juniors from one or two years gather around, chatting happily with the seniors. "Everyone enjoys cheerleading together regardless of grade." What the seniors said was true. I started to want to be part of that circle too.

There was another thing I found attractive about J. F. Oberlin University. The Health and Welfare Group had a Major to get a future job in sports. I wanted to become a cheerleading enthusiast, and I was very attracted to the opportunity to pursue a future career.

J. F. Oberlin University 's cheerleading club was just as I imagined in high school. It was a team with no hierarchy, no hierarchy, and a good communication where we could communicate our thoughts openly, unlike just familiar relationships. I felt the happiness of having my ideal university life, and I was excited thinking that if I saw the current version of myself in high school, I might shine brightly.

Perhaps because I had accumulated skills up to high school, I was able to participate in competitions as a member of Team A from my first year. I never cut corners in basic practice, did it diligently, and truly enjoyed cheerleading. However, at the beginning of my second year, during the selection to decide who would compete in competitions, I couldn't successfully perform certain tricks, and it was a tough time. That was partly due to my own lack of ability, but it was only when I coordinated well with others that I succeeded. For the first time, I hit the barrier I had to overcome to enjoy cheerleading.

If things continue like this, I won't be able to enjoy cheerleading. I wasn't pushed by anyone, but the switch flipped. I work hard, but I want everyone to work even harder. It takes a lot of courage to put everyone in a position to make an effort. I used to think it sounded like a high-ranking statement putting myself on a shelf. But I wanted to express my feelings. I started actively reaching out to them. I didn't hesitate to ask my seniors for their efforts. Looking back now, that might have been my turning point. I think I started to pay close attention and talk to others, not just about myself. And I realized that when a person has a strong will and strives to act, there will always be people who stand by their side and help them. Our team has become one that never loses its fun and never neglects its efforts.

This spring, we were runners-up in the Kanto tournament. We were satisfied with our results, but when it comes to our performances, no one is satisfied. We need to eliminate more mistakes. Everyone shares that feeling—some are working tumbling, some are working out, some are working out, each making effective use of their own time.

I became the club president and was appointed captain of Team A. After being appointed manager, I suddenly found myself thinking about what it means to be a department head. The seniors who were managers were full of leadership and reliable. As for me, I was somewhat absent-minded. Nor was I particularly meticulous. Fujita, a fellow classmate, said that this lackluster aspect made me want to support him, but I became anxious and consulted with the seniors, who advised me, "I think everyone recommended me because I think the current way is the club president's character," which eased my mind a little. I have no choice but to work hard from what I can see.

I believe the ideal team is one where seniors and juniors can speak their minds regardless of grade. Oberirin is traditionally that kind of team, but I believe the role of the manager is to become someone trusted by everyone and someone who can talk about anything. If that's the case, that's possible. I always actively talk to seniors, peers, and juniors so that I can get involved myself. If someone has a small dissatisfaction or is in a slump, the team's harmony is instantly thrown off. We often discuss to see if anyone feels dissatisfied, and when someone is in a slump, the team gives their all to support them. Cheerleading is both dazzling and bold, but it's also a very nerve-wracking sport. To bring the team together, not only me but also Vice President Tajima understands the team well and always fills in my shortcomings.

J. F. Oberlin University cheerleading is a team that traditionally values "beauty." Each person's movements are synchronized, and the charm lies in their beautiful harmony. This is also the beauty of the team's camaraderie naturally expressed in form, and more deeply, it reflects proper manners, good daily conduct, and disciplined living—everyone at J. F. Oberlin University 's cheerleading club believes this. That is the team's greatest pride and charm.
